Chapter 479: The Final Arrangement

People are about to die and speak well. Su Hong has been in a high position for more than 20 years and is very clear about the saying that people leave. When he was there, the Su family was incredible, but once he left, the former political enemies would soon take the blame. Although Deng Sheng was there, they would properly protect the Su family, but it was only appropriate and they still did not prevent others from secretly making trouble. Therefore, in the last few years, Su Hong paved the way for the Su family and married his daughter into the Eastern Palace, which could provide the Su family with shelter to a certain extent, but this was not enough. Although Deng Hao was the crown prince, his power was not great, and it was difficult to give the Su family great help. The Su family still had to rely on his own.

Su Hong's original plan was to stay in this position for a few more years, and wait until Zhuge Liang and his son Su Yun grew up so that they could successfully take over his team and support the Su family's family's family. However, things went against his wishes, and he still couldn't wait for this day. Although Su Hong had repeatedly proposed to Deng Sheng to resign and retire, this was just an attitude. Su Hong told Deng Sheng that he was not interested in power. In fact, Su Hong knew very well that he could not retreat, and Deng Sheng would not let him retreat. After all, Su Hong had been in charge of Mingjing and the Ministry of War for many years, and had too many secrets that Deng State could not tell him. Only when he stayed in the court would Deng Sheng feel at ease with him.

Su Hong looked at Zhuge Liang and was very satisfied with this disciple. Zhuge Liang was a master of both character and knowledge. It was no problem to be in a high position for a while. It was a pity that he could not see this day. So he sighed and said to Zhuge Liang: "Liang'er, I will recommend Wang Meng, the governor of Shuzhong Dao, to the king, to replace the position of Minister of War. Wang Meng, this person is not inferior to you, and even in some places it is too much better than you. The king also values ​​him very much. He will replace the Minister of War. The king will not object. If the Wang family is a four-strong master, it will be of great help to your future career."

Zhuge Liang nodded. He had also heard of Wang Meng, and he was considered his predecessor. He was the first prefect of Jiujiang County. It was only after Wang Meng became the governor of Shuzhong Dao that Zhuge Liang became the prefect of Jiujiang. When Zhuge Liang governed Jiujiang, he also benefited from everything Wang Meng left behind. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was not dissatisfied with Wang Meng's replacement of the position of Minister of War. Moreover, Zhuge Liang knew very well that with his current qualifications, it was completely impossible to take charge of the Ministry of War directly.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang did not show any strange appearance, Su Hong knew that Zhuge Liang had no objection to his arrangement, so he smiled and said, "But you don't need to worry too much. After Wang Meng replaced the Minister of War, his position as the governor of Shuzhong was vacant. With his former achievements as a teacher, and neither the king nor the prince would look at our Su family's loneliness. Besides, your ability is here, even if you are not mentioned as a teacher, the king will promote you to the governor of Shuzhong. If you want to go from the local prefect to the central government to serve an important position, it is essential to serve as a governor. Only by walking out of the position of governor and coming to Wancheng can you achieve great achievements."

In recent years, the system of selecting officials in Deng State has become increasingly strict, not as casual as when Deng was promoted to the throne in the early days. Now, if you want to be promoted, in addition to ability, you also need qualifications and have to climb up step by step. Otherwise, even if you are allowed to go up and have unstable foundation, you will not be able to play with those old fried dough sticks who have been immersed in the court for more than ten or twenty years. Although Su Hong has confidence in Zhuge Liang's ability, he is still as stable as Zhuge Liang can be more stable and accumulate strength to soar into the sky.

"Disciple understands, the teacher is troubled!" Zhuge Liang is a very smart person. How could he not know the meaning of Su Hong doing this? So he looked at Su Hong with gratitude and said.

After talking about Zhuge Liang's incident, Su Hong turned his attention to his eldest son Su Yun, who was the most powerful son of Su Hong. He was over 1 year old and became the military advisor of the First Guard. In the Deng State military, the position of military advisor is a very important position. In the army, military advisor is not only a think tank in the army, but also a general in the court restricting the military advisor. The military advisor appears to be a subordinate of the General of the First Guard, but in fact it is not the case. The military advisor and the general are not subordinate to each other. The military advisor is directly ordered by the Military Affairs Office. If the General of the First Guard has a different intention, he has the power to take it down directly. Of course, the key is that the military advisor can command the army, but no matter what, the status of the military advisor is no lower than that of the General of the First Guard.

Su Yun, the military advisor of Wudangwei, had a higher status than ordinary military advisors, because when Wudangwei was first established, most of the generals in the army were young boys in their teens and twenties, and only Su Yun was older. Therefore, in the early days, both Deng Sheng, the General's Office, or the Military Affairs Office gave Su Yun great power. When Wudangwei was first established, Su Yun could be said to have monopolized power in Wudangwei. Even now, Su Yun's status in Wudangwei is higher than that of Deng Zhong, the general.

"Yun'er, you are the eldest son of your father, and you also value you very much. Fortunately, you did not disappoint your father. You did a good job in Wudangwei, and your evaluation of you from both inside and outside the court and the country was very high." Su Hong looked at Su Yun with relief and said.

"It's because the father teaches well that the child has today. Besides, the child is just doing his own job well and should not be praised!" Su Yun replied humbly. In front of Su Hong, Su Yun did not have the majesty of a guard military advisor at all, and he was like a good baby.

"Well, you only need to do the things you do. You don't need to care about the other things. You know your son better than your father. You are very clear about your ability. You are still young, so you should be hard at Wudangwei. Don't enter the court too early. It will be no good for you. Fortunately, Cheng Yu, the chief assistant of the Military Affairs Office, and the Minister of the Secretary of the Military Affairs Office, and Jiang Wan, have a close relationship with you. With them, no one will do anything to you. You just need to stay in Wudangwei. As for whether you have the chance to take up an important position in the Military Affairs Office in the future, you can tell you that the king is still there, and you will not have any chance!" Su Hong first praised Su Yun's attitude, but also told Su Yun very clearly that as long as Deng Sheng is still there, you should not think about the position of the top leader of the Military Affairs Office.

In the Military Affairs Office, there are many more capable and experienced people than Su Yun. Even if Cheng Yu retreats in the future, this position will not be Su Yun's turn. He has Liu Bowen, Xun You, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Sheng, Pang Tong and others before him, especially Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Sheng. They can be said to be the first counselors to follow Deng Sheng. If Cheng Yu had not been the minister of the Dragon, he had firmly occupied the position of the top leader of the Military Affairs Office, they would have entered the central government long ago. It is obvious that as soon as Cheng Yu retreats, the position of the top leader of the Military Affairs Office is either Yao Guangxiao or Zhu Sheng, and no one else has any chance.

"I understand, I won't think too much. Please rest assured, my father." Su Yun of course understood what Su Hong said. He would not be stupid enough to compete with Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Sheng. Even if he had to fight, he had to wait until Deng Hao ascends the throne. At that time, he would have the chance with his status as a uncle, but now he can't.

"It's good that you understand. If you are tired of your father, you can go back first. It's not too late to come tomorrow." After the explanation, Su Hong asked Zhuge Liang and Su Yun to leave first. Although Su Yun and Zhuge Liang were a little puzzled, they still followed Su Hong's words and left.

The reason why Su Hong asked Zhuge Liang and Su Yun to leave was because he still had very important things to consider. Now the position of the Minister of War has been considered, but there is another most important point that has not yet been concluded, that is, the position of the leader of Mingjing.

As the intelligence agency of Deng State, Mingjing plays an important role in the process of Deng State's struggle for the world. Who will take charge of Mingjing requires very careful consideration.

Mingjing was established by Su Hong, and the people inside were selected by Su Hong. Mingjing leader has great power and is in charge of Deng's only intelligence agency. Even if he does not hold any important positions in the court in the future, he is also one of the most powerful people in Deng's country. Logically speaking, if Su Hong left this position to Zhuge Liang, Su Hong also knew that Deng Sheng might not object, and would even cause this matter. However, Su Hong knew very well what Mingjing leader was like. He had too many secrets and was too unsafe. It can be said that the leader of Mirror was not only the person the king trusted the most, but also the person he feared the most. In such a dangerous position, Su Hong could not let Zhuge Liang take risks.

But letting who will take charge of the mirror has become a big problem. Those who can sit in this position must not only have outstanding abilities, but more importantly, this person must be very trusted by Deng Sheng, and his personality must be very calm and his methods must be good. However, when looking at the civil and military affairs of the court, Su Hong seemed to be unable to find anyone who meets these conditions.

Su Hong knew very well that it would not take long before Deng Sheng would come to find his own. In addition to the necessary care of the future, the more important topic was that once Su Hong was gone, who should take over everything Su Hong was in charge. Among them, Mingjing was the top priority and no carelessness was allowed.
